Reviews

“[This work] examines a topic on which very little is written in English, on its own terms, from the inside out, giving us a nuanced understanding of both the intellectual bases and the internal workings of the movement.”
– Prof. Jill Crystal, Auburn University

“. . . fills a gap in the existing literature by carefully detailing the conditions that gave rise to a powerful Islamic movement in Sudan . . .” - Prof. William Crowther, University of North Carolina
